Lucid stock pops after Q4 deliveries beat estimates as Gravity SUV demand gets tested

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 17:04 EST — After-hours Lucid Group shares rose 4.7% to $11.69 in after-hours trading on Monday after the luxury electric-vehicle maker posted a fourth-quarter delivery increase and a sharp jump in production. The update matters because U.S. EV demand has cooled since a $7,500 federal tax credit for buyers expired in September, forcing automakers to lean harder on pricing and promotions to move higher-priced models. Lucid has tried to broaden appeal with its lower-priced Gravity Touring SUV, launched in November at $79,900, while sweetening offers on its Air sedans. Still, the company’s factory output expanded

Chevron stock jumps 5% after Venezuela upheaval puts CVX in focus for 2026

New York, January 5, 2026, 16:42 EST — After-hours Chevron shares rose 5.2% to $163.85 in after-hours trading on Monday, after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Washington signaled it would take control of the oil-rich country.

Palantir stock jumps nearly 4% after early-year swoon as traders eye jobs report, earnings

New York, January 5, 2026, 16:34 (EST) — After-hours Palantir Technologies Inc. shares climbed 3.68% on Monday to close at $174.04, and were up about 0.05% in after-hours trading. Yahoo Finance The rebound comes as investors reassess crowded “AI trade” winners early in the new year, with Palantir often moving sharply on shifts in risk appetite rather than fresh company headlines. That sensitivity matters now because high-growth software stocks tend to swing with interest-rate expectations: higher rates reduce the present value of future profits, pressuring valuations.
